Some of you might remember my "hope I don't offend you southerners" post of a week or so ago, about eating grits. Well I learned a lot in that thread, lol. So this morning I made my grits, and fried up two pieces of bacon and two eggs over easy. Broke up the bacon, put it and the eggs in with the grits, "mooshed" (I think that was the word) it all around, salted it... o.m.g... B) Delicious!

It's mornings like this where I don't miss my gluteny cereal. :lol:

Thanks to all of you who suggested it. ;)

Yay! So glad you liked it! I never did the jelly on top thing, just my Granny because she had a major sweet tooth. That's my favorite breakfast. Mooshed is best :P

Turning into a southerner here... :D Just had it *again* this morning. B)

Now, I do need to branch out because I don't think two eggs and a couple strips of bacon every single morning is good for me. :rolleyes:

I love grits. Now can anyone tell me why Crackerbarrel will not say their grits are gluten free. I would love to go there and have their bacon, eggs and grits and maybe the apples on the side. It would feel almost like before I had to be gluten free. I even have a girt card I can't use.

I agree. A little grated sharp cheddar cheese would round that out.

And instead of "mooshed", I'd say "schmushed"! .... :)

Where did you go?

The Silver Diner, in northern VA. Not sure if it's a chain or not. But they've recently added a couple of gluten-free items (such as Van's waffles) and labeled others as Gluten-free (grits, for example). I talked to the manager who assured me that the eggs are cooked only on the egg griddle, and the bacon is cooked in the oven in the bacon pan. So far I haven't had any problems. The potatoes are a no-no though because they're fried on the same griddle as the bread things, like pancakes, etc. I didn't ask him how they toast the Van's because I eat them at home a lot so haven't ordered them out.

Yay for grits, eggs, and bacon. B)

I saw a bumper sticker that said "I wasn't born in the South, but I got here as soon as I could." They must have discovered grits, too.

Try garlic cheese grits as a sde dish with pork.

Lol at the bumper sticker. :lol: And I guess technically I do live in the south since Virginia is a southern state. Even if Northern VA is like a state unto itself. ;)

ymmmmmmmmm garlic cheese grits! {putting pork on my next grocery list}

I always eat at the Silver Diner when I visit my hometown! I was so excited when I saw the gluten free options last visit! :)

As for Cracker Barrel I have actually eaten grits there and not gotten sick. That is not to say it is safe just that I personally didn't have issues. I believe I read once that because grits themselves are subject to contamination in processing a lot of restaurants won't list them as gluten-free. That is what Denny's says at anyrate.

I'll admit that I couldn't wait to try this "schmoosh" breakfast and had it for supper last night. I was disappointed tho, cause the grits were pretty tasteless. Next time I'll add more salt and more cheese.

Plus, I wish there was a way to get like quadruple yolks, as the runny part is the very best part of the egg!! ha ha

Yes, grits themselves are kind of bland. That's what all that fattening butter or cheese, and salt is for. :P

Isn't that the way it usually is? All the good-tasting stuff isn't particularly good for us. ;)

edited to add that if I ever get high blood pressure I'm going to be in big trouble. I sure do love my salt. :ph34r:

Good to know. I may give Cracker Barrel a try. I use to live in Virginia, pretty state. I am a true southerner now that I live in Alabama. Cracker Barrel just happens to make good grits,with butter and salt added of course.

I've never seen one that said "South", but I've seen many that said "Texas".

Bought some Farmland thick sliced bacon at Walmart yesterday to go with my eggs & grits. Have been eating this breakfast at Waffle House for years, but was just diagnosed celiac Oct '10. Will have to forgo the bacon there though since they toast the Texas toast on the same grill. Same is true for their hash browns.

BTW you can tell when the grits are the proper consistency by throwing a spoonful against a wall. If it falls to the floor add more water. If it runs down the wall cook the grits longer.

Just an update. I went to my local Cracker Barrel and they said their grits come in bulk and they didn't have a label to show me so I couldn't check it. I guess Cracker Barrel is out.

Ginny, I'm just buying the Quaker grits in the round box, the five-minute kind. Not specifically labeled gluten free but the ingredients are: "white hominy grits made from corn" plus some vitamins. That's it. I haven't had any trouble at all from eating them.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
